DOT FILES

these are my dot files

documentation needs much much much work

I use chezmoi to manage all of this, big reccomend it

Application List

system configuration management

chezmoi handles dot files. it has uses golangs templating system. has cool plugins but i dont really use em
asdf version control for a bunch of languages like zig, golang, python, elixir, and js
rbenv version control for ruby, i was to lazy to switch

text editor

neovim like vim but better. I like it and have been using it for a while. I found it difficult to manage with LSPs and the plugins. I wanted something a bit easier and heavier(but not too much). Still use it for quick edits
doom emacs what I replace neovim with. Overall really enjoy it. elisp is magic. Still make mistakes tho :(

shell/terminal razzledazzle

zshell better than bash. reliable. does cool history things, no more history | grep for me.
termite my first grown up terminal. It did cool things. Had cool tiling and window splits. Deprecated :(
alacritty current terminal. Simple, configurable, reliable.
starship nice PS1 customiser. Can be a lil wonky at times

old stuff

i3 tiling window manager. now I use pop shell.
polybar bar for i3.
redshift changed my wallpaper depending on time of day. Now i just keep night mode one.

Applications and why I use them

Software Name	What it is	Why I use it	Where I use it
chezmoi	A script and configuration management system	It has a ton of support for nice stuff like zsh autocomplete, templating based off system variables, and permissions persistence of configs	both
golang	A programming language, like modern version of C	I have alot of thoughts about it but overall its pretty cool	both
rust	A programming language, memory safety with *SPEEEEEDDD*	Its cool for things	both
ruby	A programming language	I inherited a bunch of ruby projects	both
rbenv	A ruby version manager	I like the API better than rvm	both
asdf	A version manager for a ton of programming languages	asdf supports a ton of languages like elixir and ruby	both
zsh	A shell	Overall it has alot of nice features that bash doesnt have like autocomplete, nicer history, spell check	both
doom emacs	A theme engine ontop of emacs, a configurable lisp machine	Vim bindings, easy configuration, nice lsp support, do I really need to go on?	both
neovim	A text editor based off of vim	Its faster, has more configurable plugins and settings, more extensible, overall wayy better than vim	both
redshift	A screen temperature changing	It has nice hooks to run commands based on time of day(like changinge wallpaper)	Currently only laptop
i3	A window manager	I only use this on my laptop because at the time, it was the best. Now on my desktop I use COSMIC with pop os(maybe will change)	laptop
polybar	A bar for your desktop, think toolbar on windows	I only use this on my laptop to use with i3	laptop
alacritty	A terminal emulator	Its fast and configurable, has a cool vim mode	desktop

What I dont use anymore

Software Name	What its used for	Why I dont use it
Termite	A terminal emulator	Its deprecated so i switched to alacritty
Vim	A text editor	For basic text editor stuff there is an alternative that is better(Neovim)
Emacs	A text editor/lisp engine	Doom emacs is just better for my purposes, I need vim bindings and ease of use
